Sony Xperia Z3 is a very high quality phone launched some years ago, in 2014, equipped with a pretty large 5.2 inches multi touch display, a very fast Quad-Core processor speeding at 2500 MHz, a 20.7 mega-pixels back camera and a 2.2 mega-pixels front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's advantages when we get into more details.

This phone is powered by an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit running at 2.5 GHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC chip and a big 3 GB of RAM. Graphic rendering generally consume lots of processing power, so it has an additional 450 megahertz Adreno 330 graphic processing unit to unload the CPU. A good point of the Sony Xperia Z3 is the 32 GB astonishing internal memory and an SD extension slot, which allows the user to store tons of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without thinking about filling the cellphone.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is much lighter than what you expect from a phone this size. Sony just offers the Sony Xperia Z3 in black color. This phone is slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.29". This cellphone is a compact phone, taking into account that it features a 5.2" display and it is just 5.75" long.

Sony equipped this phone with a high-tech 5.2 inches screen, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, providing this phone with a perfect image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a very high 592 candela/m2 brightness and is multi-touch enabled.

This device provides wi-fi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance data connection and also HSPA+ connection type, a bit slower 4G type and fast 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia Z3 uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 20.7 MP back-facing camera and a 2.2 mega-pixels front camera. this phone's back-facing camera has a f/2 aperture so it can shoot clear pictures even in low-light environments. The Sony Xperia Z3 also captures videos up to 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 frames per second, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 120 fps. The camera also has lots of great features: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone features an awesome 3100 mAh non-removable battery, enough to provide the Sony Xperia Z3 with an incredibly long battery life. According to Sony, this cellphone has an aproximate talk time of 14 hs and a stand by time of 890 hs. An issue to evaluate is that this phone's battery is not removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to last shorter, while with this big battery you will probably buy a new device before it becomes an issue.

This cellphone also features a couple of useful characteristics such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

Sony is selling this cellphone for around 170 dollars, which is quite close to other same level cellphones. This phone is a great choice for you no matter whether you will use this cellphone to play tons of games, you love taking photographs, are looking for a cellphone for work or are looking for a phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks.
